Schrijvers, The Times has raved, “brings to life the sights, sounds, and smells of the past.”Schrijvers has gained particular acclaim with his harrowing books on the Battle of the Bulge. This allows him to take guests not only to iconic sites like the Bois Jacques of Band of Brothers fame, but also to little-known places discovered after years of painstaking detective work. Schrijvers, The Wall Street Journal commented, presents those interested in the Battle of the Bulge with “a fast-paced story and he does an admirable job of weaving personal accounts into the larger picture.”Schrijvers currently serves as an historical advisor for the Bastogne War Museum as well as the American Graves Adoption Foundation at the World War II cemetery in Margraten.
